| Beschrijving keerzijde | A displayed imperial eagle with spread wings, crowned, occupies the central field, rendered in the heraldic style typical of 16th-century German coinage. The eagle's breast bears a small shield with the East Frisian harpy device. The date, rendered with a 'Z' as a period numeral substitute (e.g. 156Z for 1562), appears at the top of the field flanking the crown. A circular Latin legend in the outer ring contains the religious invocation for peace, separated from the eagle by a beaded inner border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Dicker Penning" — thick penny — was a denomination peculiar to East Frisian coinage, issued during a period when the county was governed jointly by three Cirksena brothers: Edzard II, Christoph, and John. The joint rule arrangement, forced by inheritance convention rather than political harmony, was characteristically fractious; the brothers spent much of the early 1560s negotiating internal divisions of territory and revenue that would eventually partition the county.
The two-year window of 1562–1563 likely reflects the precise overlap before administrative separation made unified coinage impractical.
